Maeda's SIMPLICITY

Play With Your Food!

My exhibition at Fondation Cartier in Paris is coming to a close this month on February 19, 2006. Part of this exhibition was a small room for children entitled "Eye'm Hungry." In conjunction with this theme, Cécile Boyer ran a special series of workshops for children using a silly computer program I wrote to play with images of food. Kids played with yummy French pastries and so forth, and added their own pixel decorations to them. If the simplest needs in life are food, water, and shelter, then I should want to make that list a teeny bit more complex by adding the spirit of play according to the law of more.
